Justin Trudeau

Editor's note: Canada's National Observer invited Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Jagmeet Singh, Elizabeth May and Andrew Scheer to speak directly to our readers through op-eds as the campaign winds down. Op-eds are forthcoming from Singh and May.

Canada’s leading political parties are backsliding by protecting fossil fuels, missing international climate commitments along the way. Here’s what we could do instead.

The choice is not between the Liberal government’s pipeline project and no pipeline projects at all. It’s between the Liberal approach and a question mark.

In an election campaign haunted by the spectres of racism and anti-immigrant backlash, both at home and abroad, the NDP leader has repeatedly been thrust into the role of unofficial spokesperson for racialized Canadians.

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Sunday he will do "whatever it takes" to keep the Conservatives from assuming power, including forming a coalition government with Justin Trudeau's Liberals.

Party leaders hit the hustings at the start of the long weekend hoping to fire up their bases and their get-out-the-vote machines before turkeys are served on Thanksgiving tables — or drop on their chances at electoral success.

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau took extraordinary safety precautions at a major election rally west of Toronto on Saturday, October 12, 2019, donning an armoured vest and appearing with a heavy security detail because of a threat.

Scheer comes off as out of touch; Trudeau gives oxygen to anti-immigration reforms; Singh remains sturdy; May hard to decipher.

An unsubstantiated rumour Prime Minister Justin Trudeau left a former teaching job due to a sex scandal is a case study for a crucial gap in Canada’s defences against disinformation on the campaign trail.

In contrast to the 2015 campaign, when Idle No More was still flourishing and anti-Harper sentiment drove record-high Indigenous turnout, this election sees Indigenous issues on the sidelines, and neither hate nor hope is motivating Native voters.

The Conservatives aren't saying whether they're talking about immigration and the border on the federal campaign trail today, October 9, 2019, but leader Andrew Scheer is gathering reporters for a field trip starting just a couple of kilometres from the spot in Quebec where thousands of irregular migrants have crossed into Canada.

Twenty minutes of the Oct. 7 debate were allocated for a discussion about Indigenous issues among all six Canadian federal leaders. But as quickly as this segment began, it derailed into a haphazard conversation about pipelines, Quebec and climate change.

Will Andrew Scheer protect abortion rights? Was Jagmeet Singh right to say that Trudeau’s cabinet ministers use offshore tax havens? We answer all your fact check questions.

Bernier's year-old People’s Party of Canada calls for "ending official multiculturalism" and slashing the number of immigrants allowed into the country. Its platform also denies the science of climate change.
